The Nasdaq Composite Index , was trading 0.3% lower at 6,805, with losses in the technology and internet-heavy index weighing on the broader market. The S&P 500 index was less than 0.1% lower at 2,548, while the Dow was clinging to a 57-point, or 0.3%, to reach 23,583, after the blue-chip gauge had been trading as many as 333 points higher earlier in the session.
